San Manuel Casino Announces Certification as a Great Place to Work

Highland, CA (September 1, 2021) – The San Manuel Band of Mission Indians (SMBMI) is proud to announce the certification of San Manuel Casino and its Tribal Government Operations as a Great Place to Work® by industry leaders at the Great Places to Work Institute. Great Place to Work® is the global authority on workplace culture, employee experience, and the leadership behaviors proven to deliver market-leading revenue, employee retention, and increased innovation.

“Great Place to Work Certification™ isn’t something that comes easily – it takes ongoing dedication to the employee experience,” said Sarah Lewis-Kulin, vice president of global recognition at Great Place to Work. “It’s the only official recognition determined by employees’ real-time reports of their company culture. Earning this designation means that SMBMI is one of the best companies to work for in the country.”

The Great Place to Work® survey noted that 85% of team members say that San Manuel is a great place to work, 89% are proud to tell others that they work at San Manuel and 90% are proud of the way the enterprise contributes to the community. 

“The Tribe is honored by this recognition and thankful to our team members for their dedication to making our enterprise what it is today,” said Laurens Vosloo, CEO, SMBMI. “The certification also comes at an exciting time as we work to welcome new team members to support our upcoming resort opening.”

According to Great Place to Work research, job seekers are 4.5 times more likely to find a great boss at a workplace that is certified. Additionally, employees at workplaces with the Great Place to Work Certification are 93% more likely to look forward to coming to work, and are twice as likely to be paid fairly, earn a fair share of the company’s profits, and have a fair chance at promotion.

San Manuel continues its efforts to fill full-time and part-time positions at what Forbes has named one of the “35 Most Anticipated Hotel Openings of 2021” – a 17-floor resort that includes 432 luxury hotel rooms and suites, a relaxing pool deck with private cabanas, a full-service spa with exquisite amenities and a rooftop lounge.
